I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

[xtremez]

I think the parts for these are getting hard to find.

X2 what he said. I have one and ill tell you personally they are hard to get parts for. I got lucky and couple members here hooked me up with some parts. That saw on eBay will sell close to $700. If you are dead set on getting one I would scour Craigslist.

STIHL CHAIN SAW

Uhhhh, this one hurt my feelings...

$950 is pretty steep and a 38" bar is a wee bit long for a 75cc saw...

That's an 090 anywhere else in the USA, two times a MAC125, almost three times!

my cutting buddy tried a 32 inch bar on his 045AV and made one cut with it before taking it off and putting the 25 inch bar back on, and that was in the super soft woods of the PNW. The most I have ever paid for a 045 was $150 and I would probably not pay that much again.

 

[watsonr]

Somebody pays that much for an 045 should be shot!! Or I should get there number, got some saws to sell..

I do not know anything about a Stihl 084, but I do know about having old saws that you can not find parts for.
To me, I just hate having a saw that does not run and I cannot find parts for.
It is one thing to be saving up money for parts that are easily found, but it is another thing to not be able to find parts, especially NOS parts.

Good luck..

its in good shape and with all the extra stuff its very close, not sure what a new one costs.... but you could have an 026 for that amount.. easily! If it was an 024 super then it would be an easy conversion to an 026.

I looks like its in nice shape; looks like a one-owner saw with limited use. No longer made, but most parts are still available. The case and extra chains are nice.

It probably won't last for long - it's a STIHL and it looks really clean. (You have also just brought it to the attention of 60,000 of your closest competitors!).

But the problem with eBay (versus CraigsList) is that you can't try the saw, check compression, look for a scored cylinder, etc. You also have to pay another $35 for shipping. Ask if the seller will post actual compression numbers, and a photo of the cylinder.

I think that the 024 is a nicer saw, but for the same $300 you could get a new MS 250 with a warranty (no case and one, maybe two chains).

I wonder if Skippy's doing some moonlighting as a hand model.

I was very tempted to try for it as I work 15 minutes from there. Good for you. Not so good for me.

He sells some sweet saws and I would take his descriptions to the bank. I've bought parts from him and they've
always been better than described.
